In Process
This is the place I am going to post and keep ideas that are in development.
I have been thinking more than writing about how to make the best use of this blog. I am exploring the ideas that this might be an excellent place to vet my ideas for the book. This always makes me a tad nervous as it is my nature to keep my creative ideas in a tight circle before presenting to the world. However, this is a different kind of project in a different kind of medium. I am playing more and more with the ideas of how to show the comparison with how we scar and tattoo our bodies with how we scar and tattoo the planet. Graffitti, crop circles, agriculture, mining all come to mind. I am pursuing an aerial photgrapher (not sure I will name him yet) to see if he is interested in the concept and wants to collaborate.
Other news is that I am in Virginia visiting family and friends, and so just gathered a bunch of stories from friends…they are writers…so the stories are good. Can’t wait to post! I am planning on visiting a few tattoo parlors. If you have suggestions about Richmond, VA tattoo parlors or people in Richmond with scars and tattoos, I’ll be here until next Thursday.

The greater concept: that there is a connection can be made between the way we treat our bodies, and the way we treat our planet. I have been tentative about is this idea would resonate, and while many people nod and smile, more and more people are responding and resonating with the idea. Yahoo. Last night the topic of coal mining came up, and the scarification of West Virginia. I would love to get the stories and images of this part of the country.
